There have been a number of details that have happened in the Breeniverse that some fans view as mistakes on the part of [[the Creators]]. Here is a list of them, and suggested or actual resolutions.
  
==Accent?==
+
==Infinite clothes==
'''Problem:''' Bree occasionally slips into a foreign accent. Why?
+
<div style="background-color: #f5f5f5; border: 2px solid #333333; padding: 4px; font-family: monospace;">Why do the characters, no matter how long they're on the run or how homeless they are, always have an infinite amount of fresh clothes with them?</div>
 +
:<p>'''Possible solution''': When Bree and [[Daniel]] first went on the run from [[the Order]] in [[On The Run]], they took Daniel's car. Bree could have stored clothes in Daniel's car. Later, in [[Homeless]], when they had to ditch Daniel's car due to a tracking device that [[Tachyon]] told them about, they went to [[Jonas's house]]. Jonas, a rich guy, probably bought a lot of clothes for Bree and Daniel, and they stored some of them in Jonas's car when they had to leave Jonas's house.</p>
  
'''Solution:''' In [[Mysteries of My Past... REVEALED!]], Bree explains that she has lived abroad for a large portion of her life, both in England and New Zealand.
+
==No mention of the Gilmans==
 +
<div style="background-color: #f5f5f5; border: 2px solid #333333; padding: 4px; font-family: monospace;">If Bree and [[Drew Avery|her father]] were going to go see [[Isaac Gilman|Isaac]] and [[Spencer|Spencer Gilman]], why didn't Bree say anything to [[Jonas]] or [[Daniel]] later?</div>
 +
:<p>'''Possible solution''': Even though her father said "let me talk to Bree" when asked if he could meet Isaac Gilman, it is possible he didn't mention they were going to meet somebody, or who exactly.</p>
  
==Bree's wardrobe on the run?==
+
==No mention of later injections==
 +
<div style="background-color: #f5f5f5; border: 2px solid #333333; padding: 4px; font-family: monospace;">In order to speak to Bree about meeting Isaac Gilman, Bree must've been next to Drew Avery during his phone call. This means she heard the words "final injection". She also knew that her father was against her doing the Ceremony, so it was unlikely the injections were preperation for it. Why didn't she mention any of this to Daniel or Jonas?</div>
  
'''Problem:''' How much clothes did Bree take with her when she left her house, anyway? From [[On The Run]] through [[Your Decision]], Bree makes over a dozen wardrobe changes, but never seems to have much luggage.
+
==Contradicting accounts of Cassie's departure==
 +
<div style="background-color: #f5f5f5; border: 2px solid #333333; padding: 4px; font-family: monospace;">How come Bree says at one point that Cassie stopped talking to her because Bree's religion freaked her out, but says in a later video that they haven't seen each other since Bree took the blame for Cassie's prank phone calls?</div>
  
'''Solution:'''
+
'''Possible Solution''': Bree may have confronted Cassie about taking the blame for the prank calls, Cassie then may have got defensive and said something that insulted Bree's religion, mentioning that it "freaked" her out. After that the two may have eventually stopped talking.
  
==Bree has a cell phone?==
+
==Invisible money==
'''Problem:''' In the video [[Looking For Daniel]], we see that Bree has a working cell phone. However, given that her parents have been gone for nearly three months at this time and she has no source of income, one wonders who has been paying the bills.
+
<div style="background-color: #f5f5f5; border: 2px solid #333333; padding: 4px; font-family: monospace;">How does Jonas finance their adventures without leaving a trail for the Order to follow when he uses ATM's and such?</div>
 +
:<p>'''Possible solution''': He doesn't. It has been suggested this is how the Order keeps finding them - although one should keep in mind that there were always other reasons presented in the series, such as bugged cars, traced cellphones or treasonous aunts.</p>
  
'''Solution:''' Assuming Bree's parents were up-to date on their bills when they disappeared, it might not be unreasonable to have her phone still working after this amount of time. Also, they may have a pre-paid plan or some other billing method that means that Bree's phone still will function for some time long after their last bill was paid. It is also a slight possibility that Jonas has paid for Bree's phone, but not very likely despite his generosity in other areas. In the video [[Yellow Snow]], Jonas mentions that his is a pre-paid phone; such phones are generally cheaper and harder to trace, so it may be that Jonas got one for each of them.
+
==Gemma's warning about Watchers==
 +
<div style="background-color: #f5f5f5; border: 2px solid #333333; padding: 4px; font-family: monospace;">Why did Gemma warn Bree about the Watchers, especially if they were working for the Order?</div>
 +
:<p>'''Possible solution''': Watchers are assigned to protect Bree, no matter from whom. Gemma was working for OP APHID, a more radical wing of the Order; if APHID has/had similar goals like the faction that sent the Shadow in [[Subjects Apprehended]], it is possible the Watchers would've been an obstacle had they tried to take Bree by force. Telling Bree the Watchers are evil, while they are in fact protecting her, was an easy way of separating Bree and the Watchers.</p>
  
==Daniel the drama queen?==
+
:<p>'''Possible solution 2''': Another possibility is that Gemma ventured a minor information to gain Bree's trust, in order to have a better chance of influencing her later.</p>
'''Problem:''' Could Daniel really be ''that dense'' in response to Bree's religion? He gets upset when she stands him up for a date to go to an important religious ceremony with her parents, and freaks out at the suggestion that Bree's ritual will involve walking back and forth in a straight line. What's up with that?
+
  
'''Solution:''' Perhaps Daniel wasnt just worried about the steps, but he knew that ritualistic dances were a part of weird, and somewhat dangerous religions, like the Order, for example. If they're going to make Bree perform certain steps in a straight line, then what else would they do?
+
:<p>'''Possible solution 3''': In addition, there is the possibility that Gemma wasn't originally evil, but was found and turned later. This, however, is improbable, given that Tachyon said Gemma had tried to kill Brother months before the events of lonelygirl15.</p>
  
==Fourteen hours?==
+
==Bree Has A Cell Phone==
'''Problem:''' In [[Aleister Crowley (Video)|Aleister Crowley]], Daniel complains "I've been up for like, 14 hours straight." Since the video was posted at 11:37 a.m., does that means he woke up at around 10 ''p.m.''? Whatever fourteen-hour span of time he's referring to, seeing as there are 24 hours in a day, being up fourteen hours implies ten hours left in the day for sleep, not a small amount.
+
<div style="background-color: #f5f5f5; border: 2px solid #333333; padding: 4px; font-family: monospace;">How is it possible for Bree to have a cell phone? Who has been paying for it all these months her parents been gone?</div>
 +
:<p>'''Possible solution:''' It's plausible that Jonas has been paying for her cell phone bill.</p>
  
'''Solution:''' Perhaps Daniel mis-spoke and meant that he had been searching for info on the Internet for fourteen hours straight. Still, if that's the case, he didn't get much info for such an investment of time. Another possibility is that the video was filmed earlier and posted after Daniel had slept for some period of time.
+
==Missing Watchers for Jules==
 +
<div style="background-color: #f5f5f5; border: 2px solid #333333; padding: 4px; font-family: monospace;">Why weren't there Watchers to protect [[Jules]]?</div>
 +
:<p>'''Possible solution:''' The obvious answer to this is that she is trait negative, and thus not a ceremony girl - '''but:''' She was supposed to work as bait for Bree and the others, so shouldn't she have gotten Watchers just to ''look'' like a ceremony girl?</p>
  
==How Did Bree Restrain Jonas?==
+
:<p>'''Possible solution 2:''' On the other hand, some people argue that the presence of Watchers might have scared BDJ off, and that this would've been contrary to the Order's plans, which is why they didn't position any obvious Watchers.</p>
'''Problem:''' In [[How Dumb Am I?]] Bree reveals that she has captured Jonas.  In the next video [[Bree Is Crazy]], Daniel reveals that Bree tied Jonas up.  Since Bree weighs all of about 100 pounds and Jonas is a trained boxer, how could she possibly have physically overwhelmed him?
+
  
'''Solution:''' It may be an inhumane and outright cruel thing to do, but if Jonas wasn't expecting anything, Bree could just have walked right up at him, pretending to be going to hug him, then kneeing him into the balls. That ''will'' take him out, no matter how trained he is. Also, Daniel may have helped, though seeing as in the next episode he said he was uncomfortable with Bree's keeping Jonas tied up it is not so likely he helped tie him up to begin with. Then again, maybe Jonas was asleep at the time.
+
==The forgotten parents==
 +
<div style="background-color: #f5f5f5; border: 2px solid #333333; padding: 4px; font-family: monospace;">What is Daniel doing about his parents? They can't possibly believe that he's still camping, can they?</div>
 +
:<p>'''Possible Solution:''' Daniel said in one of his videos that his parents "weren't exactly the 'hands-on' type." It is possible that his parents don't care where he is. There is also some evidence that Daniel has a history of [[Inebriated|alcoholism]], which may speak volumes about his family life. Also, Daniel talks more about his parents and his relationship with his grandmother in the video [[Comfort Food]].
 +
:'''Possible Soultion 2:''' The characters don't include every last detail of their lives in these videos. It's possible that Daniel has been calling his parents to keep them up to date on where he is, but he didn't think it was important enough to mention on camera.
  
==How long was Jonas tied up?==
+
==Contradicting accounts on whether the Order watches videos==
 +
<div style="background-color: #f5f5f5; border: 2px solid #333333; padding: 4px; font-family: monospace;">In "[[Mystery Movies]]", we find out that Bree's dad must be watching her videos, and we know from the video "[[Me For Daniel]]" that the Order is watching Bree's videos- but later, in one of [[Nikki Bower|Nikki B.'s]] videos, we find out that the Order doesn't watch her videos - why?</div>
 +
:'''Solution:''' This is called a "{{wikipedia|retcon}}", which stands for ''Retroactive continuity''. Put bluntly, it is a ''deliberate'' continuity error in order to change information that was previously given. Basically, the Creators didn't like the fact that the Order sees the videos anymore, so they simply said it doesn't - no matter if it makes sense or not.
 +
:'''Solution:''' This could also be explained if Bree contacted Lucy herself, and simply posted the video for people to know what was going on.
  
'''Problem:''' When Jonas was tied up for three days how did he go to the bathroom and/or eat/drink? Did Bree untie him occasionally so that he could use the toilet? The method by which Jonas is seen to be tied up in [[Interrogation 101]] doesn't seem conducive to such activities.
+
==Illogical Ceremony date hints==
 +
<div style="background-color: #f5f5f5; border: 2px solid #333333; padding: 4px; font-family: monospace;">Why would Bree hint that the Ceremony would take place on 10/12/06 when it was only a false Ceremony that hadn't been planned yet (we know this because Bree says that it wasn't planned until after the people helping her prepare found out Daniel was filming them)? Also, why did she have to lie to her parents about when the Ceremony took place?</div>
 +
:'''Solution:''' This was most likely not a clue planted by Bree, but the Creators. Something for US to find out.
  
'''Solution:'''
+
==Counterproductive fearmongering==
 +
<div style="background-color: #f5f5f5; border: 2px solid #333333; padding: 4px; font-family: monospace;">If Gemma really thought Bree should do the Ceremony, why did she scare her by saying that after the Ceremony, the family she told about disappeared?</div>
  
==Precision burglary?==
 
'''Problem:''' When Daniel [[Breaking And Entering|breaks into the warehouse]], it's clear that the place is several floors with numerous rooms on each floor, but Daniel chooses a single room seemingly at random. Entering that room, he passes up stacks of open boxes to choose a closed box, opens it and removes a single object. In such a short search, he is certain he has found the substance that Bree has been injected with?
 
  
'''Solution:''' Editing! The optimal length for a video is 2 minutes and who wants to spend 30 minutes watching Daniel open doors to empty rooms or to rooms with unimportant details. Also, the box had the same symbol as the one he found at Bree's house so it's a natural assumption that it may be the right stuff. Additionally, he hears people entering the building and flees, cutting short any further search. Upon researching the drug it makes sense with all the other information at hand about Bree that this is the likely solution.  He posted it because it seemed to be the right stuff based on his research.
+
'''Solution:''' This might have been meant as a tool not to scare her away from the Ceremony, but to scare her into it: '''"Damned if you do, damned if you don't."'''
  
==When is the Ceremony?==
+
==Bree's "Sacrifice"==
'''Problem:''' The ceremony was originally thought to be on October 12th, 2006, but the ceremony seen on that date was later revealed to be a hoax. Consider this: The date was originally noticed in the video [[Bree The Cookie Monster]], but Bree claims she didn't know about the ceremony until three days after this video was posted, in [[A Change In My Life]]. Later, in [[I Lied To Daniel]] when this all comes out, she says that the ceremony was a set-up to lure Daniel into following Bree when "they found out that he'd been filming us." However, it doesn't make sense that the Order would view Daniel filming Bree as an issue until he was doing it secretly, which was after [[My Difficult Decision]], at which time it is made clear that Bree is no longer speaking with Daniel. So how did Bree give Daniel a false clue as the the date of the fake ceremony?
+
<div style="background-color: #f5f5f5; border: 2px solid #333333; padding: 4px; font-family: monospace;">In her last message, Bree said she gave herself up so the order would stop going after her friends and endanger their lives, but in the very same message she asks her friends to help other ceremony girls and fight to bring down the order, thus putting their lives at risk once again and making her sacrifice completely redundant.</div>
  
'''Solution:'''
+
'''Solution''': By sacrificing her self, Bree made it so that her friends were no longer targets of the Order. Obviously she could not have anticipated that Emma existed, let alone that she was trait positive. But between Bree's death and [[Home Invasion]], TAAG was completely safe from the Order.
  
==Wherefore Gemma?==
+
==LaRezisto image puzzle==
'''Problem:''' From what we know about Gemma now, it seems that her purpose in posting videos to Bree was to keep her in line and stop her from bowing out of the ceremony. However, at the time that Gemma starts posting her videos, Bree has given no indication that she is in any way intending to defy the Order. So what exactly was Gemma's purpose?
+
<div style="background-color: #f5f5f5; border: 2px solid #333333; padding: 4px; font-family: monospace;">
 +
#[[LaRezisto]] uploaded the pictures to Flickr, telling us in the video "[...] Only the following could be removed at this point. watch closely. somewhere in these images is our girl.".
 +
#Among the images was one painting of a girl with flowers, tagged "8-30-07"
 +
#On August 30, 2007, LaRezisto [[Run!|uploaded a new image to the Flickr account]], eventually removing all others, showing Emma and some flowers, captioned "next".
  
'''Solution:''' Bree may not have intended to defy the Order at the time, but she was having problems preparing for the ceremony and the Order was aware of that. She had been sneaking out of her house, violating her [[purity bond]], and was also being followed by [[Daniel]].  Gemma started posting blogs shorty after Daniel snuck into Lucy's apartment and found pictures of himself on her computer taken during the staged ceremony. the Order was already atuned to the difficulties in adequately performing the ceremony with Bree, so they sent in Gemma.  Gemma was the I in Aphid: Infiltrate.
+
That raises the question: If the images originally uploaded supposedly were the only ones LaRezisto got off the disk, how come he/they not only knew in advance they'd upload a new picture on August 30, but actually knew it'd show the new girl ''with flowers''? The fact that they knew they'd upload a new picture on August 30 is questionable enough. The fact that they knew it'd be of the new girl is ridiculous already. But that they knew it'd be the girl ''and flowers'' is only plausible if they knew they picture already - which makes the entire puzzle an illogical mess. Had they known the identity of the girl and wanted to broadcast it publically, there'd have been no reason to hide the image among the others themselves, so it was not LaRezisto who hid the image. However, if The Order hid the image, and LaRezisto already found it, there'd have been no reason to have us look for it again. And if The Order hid the image, and LaRezisto didn't find it, there is no way they could've known its content and the upload date in advance.</div>
  
==Why fool Daniel?==
+
'''Solution''': As we now know LaRezisto was [[Claire]], who working for a rogue elder, and it's entirely plausible she already knew what the picture was and the entire puzzle was for the benefit of TAAG to make it seem more authentic.
'''Problem:''' The fake ceremony was set up to lure in Daniel, but why? If the Order wanted to catch Daniel, surely by now they would have had many opportunities. Likewise, they would have had many opportunities to take pictures of him. OpAphid had Daniel under surveillance for a little over a week in early December, but took no direct action against him in that time. So does someone in the Order just think Daniel's a hottie or something? "Get me more pictures of that 'Beast' boy!"
+
  
'''Solution:''' Daniel had been spying on the Order, so they perceived him as a possible threat to their plans.  They took pictures of him for identification purposes and kept him under surveillance to monitor his anti-Order activities and find out how much he knew.  Such a sophisticated and powerful organization can't see him as a real threat, so they were just watching to make sure they hadn't underestimated him.  So far it seems they haven't.
+
==Sarah Getting Away With Jonas==
 +
<div style="background-color: #f5f5f5; border: 2px solid #333333; padding: 4px; font-family: monospace;">If Sarah was revealed to be a part of the Order, then why would the employee from LifesBlood Labs let her get away with Jonas?</div>
  
==Will there be a real ceremony?==
+
'''Possible Solution''': It's always possible Sarah told the employee she was working with LBL, and not the Order.
'''Problem:''' While the ceremony we saw is supposedly fake, Bree was nonetheless receving injections, learning Enochian, etc. for a purpose, right? Yet now, all the things that Bree had been doing in preparation for the ceremony have ceased. Most fans have assumed that the Order still wants Bree for the ceremony, but after a month and a half of preparation, Bree has now gone nearly three months (since [[I Listened To Daniel]] on October 24th) without any injections, exercises or practice. ''Can'' there be a ceremony for Bree?
+
  
'''Solution:''' In the video [[Miss Me?]], after months of no one mentioning The Ceremony, a brain-washed Daniel suddenly urges Bree to "do the ceremony."  In [[Me For Daniel]], Bree agrees to do so, in exchange for Daniel's release.  Though we later find out in [[Rescuing Daniel]] that Bree is bluffing, it is clear that the Order still wants their ceremony.

Latest revision as of 14:00, 18 April 2009

There have been a number of details that have happened in the Breeniverse that some fans view as mistakes on the part of the Creators. Here is a list of them, and suggested or actual resolutions.

Infinite clothes

Why do the characters, no matter how long they're on the run or how homeless they are, always have an infinite amount of fresh clothes with them?

Possible solution: When Bree and Daniel first went on the run from the Order in On The Run, they took Daniel's car. Bree could have stored clothes in Daniel's car. Later, in Homeless, when they had to ditch Daniel's car due to a tracking device that Tachyon told them about, they went to Jonas's house. Jonas, a rich guy, probably bought a lot of clothes for Bree and Daniel, and they stored some of them in Jonas's car when they had to leave Jonas's house.

No mention of the Gilmans

If Bree and her father were going to go see Isaac and Spencer Gilman, why didn't Bree say anything to Jonas or Daniel later?

Possible solution: Even though her father said "let me talk to Bree" when asked if he could meet Isaac Gilman, it is possible he didn't mention they were going to meet somebody, or who exactly.

No mention of later injections

In order to speak to Bree about meeting Isaac Gilman, Bree must've been next to Drew Avery during his phone call. This means she heard the words "final injection". She also knew that her father was against her doing the Ceremony, so it was unlikely the injections were preperation for it. Why didn't she mention any of this to Daniel or Jonas?

Contradicting accounts of Cassie's departure

How come Bree says at one point that Cassie stopped talking to her because Bree's religion freaked her out, but says in a later video that they haven't seen each other since Bree took the blame for Cassie's prank phone calls?

Possible Solution: Bree may have confronted Cassie about taking the blame for the prank calls, Cassie then may have got defensive and said something that insulted Bree's religion, mentioning that it "freaked" her out. After that the two may have eventually stopped talking.

Invisible money

How does Jonas finance their adventures without leaving a trail for the Order to follow when he uses ATM's and such?

Possible solution: He doesn't. It has been suggested this is how the Order keeps finding them - although one should keep in mind that there were always other reasons presented in the series, such as bugged cars, traced cellphones or treasonous aunts.

Gemma's warning about Watchers

Why did Gemma warn Bree about the Watchers, especially if they were working for the Order?

Possible solution: Watchers are assigned to protect Bree, no matter from whom. Gemma was working for OP APHID, a more radical wing of the Order; if APHID has/had similar goals like the faction that sent the Shadow in Subjects Apprehended, it is possible the Watchers would've been an obstacle had they tried to take Bree by force. Telling Bree the Watchers are evil, while they are in fact protecting her, was an easy way of separating Bree and the Watchers.

Possible solution 2: Another possibility is that Gemma ventured a minor information to gain Bree's trust, in order to have a better chance of influencing her later.

Possible solution 3: In addition, there is the possibility that Gemma wasn't originally evil, but was found and turned later. This, however, is improbable, given that Tachyon said Gemma had tried to kill Brother months before the events of lonelygirl15.

Bree Has A Cell Phone

How is it possible for Bree to have a cell phone? Who has been paying for it all these months her parents been gone?

Possible solution: It's plausible that Jonas has been paying for her cell phone bill.

Missing Watchers for Jules

Why weren't there Watchers to protect Jules?

Possible solution: The obvious answer to this is that she is trait negative, and thus not a ceremony girl - but: She was supposed to work as bait for Bree and the others, so shouldn't she have gotten Watchers just to look like a ceremony girl?

Possible solution 2: On the other hand, some people argue that the presence of Watchers might have scared BDJ off, and that this would've been contrary to the Order's plans, which is why they didn't position any obvious Watchers.

The forgotten parents

What is Daniel doing about his parents? They can't possibly believe that he's still camping, can they?

Possible Solution: Daniel said in one of his videos that his parents "weren't exactly the 'hands-on' type." It is possible that his parents don't care where he is. There is also some evidence that Daniel has a history of alcoholism, which may speak volumes about his family life. Also, Daniel talks more about his parents and his relationship with his grandmother in the video Comfort Food.

Possible Soultion 2: The characters don't include every last detail of their lives in these videos. It's possible that Daniel has been calling his parents to keep them up to date on where he is, but he didn't think it was important enough to mention on camera.

Contradicting accounts on whether the Order watches videos

In "Mystery Movies", we find out that Bree's dad must be watching her videos, and we know from the video "Me For Daniel" that the Order is watching Bree's videos- but later, in one of Nikki B.'s videos, we find out that the Order doesn't watch her videos - why?
Solution: This is called a "retcon", which stands for Retroactive continuity. Put bluntly, it is a deliberate continuity error in order to change information that was previously given. Basically, the Creators didn't like the fact that the Order sees the videos anymore, so they simply said it doesn't - no matter if it makes sense or not.
Solution: This could also be explained if Bree contacted Lucy herself, and simply posted the video for people to know what was going on.

Illogical Ceremony date hints

Why would Bree hint that the Ceremony would take place on 10/12/06 when it was only a false Ceremony that hadn't been planned yet (we know this because Bree says that it wasn't planned until after the people helping her prepare found out Daniel was filming them)? Also, why did she have to lie to her parents about when the Ceremony took place?
Solution: This was most likely not a clue planted by Bree, but the Creators. Something for US to find out.

Counterproductive fearmongering

If Gemma really thought Bree should do the Ceremony, why did she scare her by saying that after the Ceremony, the family she told about disappeared?


Solution: This might have been meant as a tool not to scare her away from the Ceremony, but to scare her into it: "Damned if you do, damned if you don't."

Bree's "Sacrifice"

In her last message, Bree said she gave herself up so the order would stop going after her friends and endanger their lives, but in the very same message she asks her friends to help other ceremony girls and fight to bring down the order, thus putting their lives at risk once again and making her sacrifice completely redundant.

Solution: By sacrificing her self, Bree made it so that her friends were no longer targets of the Order. Obviously she could not have anticipated that Emma existed, let alone that she was trait positive. But between Bree's death and Home Invasion, TAAG was completely safe from the Order.

LaRezisto image puzzle

  1. LaRezisto uploaded the pictures to Flickr, telling us in the video "[...] Only the following could be removed at this point. watch closely. somewhere in these images is our girl.".
  2. Among the images was one painting of a girl with flowers, tagged "8-30-07"
  3. On August 30, 2007, LaRezisto uploaded a new image to the Flickr account, eventually removing all others, showing Emma and some flowers, captioned "next".
That raises the question: If the images originally uploaded supposedly were the only ones LaRezisto got off the disk, how come he/they not only knew in advance they'd upload a new picture on August 30, but actually knew it'd show the new girl with flowers? The fact that they knew they'd upload a new picture on August 30 is questionable enough. The fact that they knew it'd be of the new girl is ridiculous already. But that they knew it'd be the girl and flowers is only plausible if they knew they picture already - which makes the entire puzzle an illogical mess. Had they known the identity of the girl and wanted to broadcast it publically, there'd have been no reason to hide the image among the others themselves, so it was not LaRezisto who hid the image. However, if The Order hid the image, and LaRezisto already found it, there'd have been no reason to have us look for it again. And if The Order hid the image, and LaRezisto didn't find it, there is no way they could've known its content and the upload date in advance.

Solution: As we now know LaRezisto was Claire, who working for a rogue elder, and it's entirely plausible she already knew what the picture was and the entire puzzle was for the benefit of TAAG to make it seem more authentic.

Sarah Getting Away With Jonas

If Sarah was revealed to be a part of the Order, then why would the employee from LifesBlood Labs let her get away with Jonas?

Possible Solution: It's always possible Sarah told the employee she was working with LBL, and not the Order.
